Private Insurance Schemes (Tax Relief)

HC Deb 20 March 1980 vol 981 c323W

18. Mr. Alexander

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much it would cost to grant tax relief to individuals on the cost of premiums in private health insurance schemes on the same basis as it is allowable to companies which take out such schemes on behalf of their employees.

Mr. Biffen

Probably between £15 million and £20 million at 1979–80 levels.
